Super Robot Wars X follows on from the success of Super Robot Wars V, which also saw an English localized release in Asia. This is something that is also planned for Super Robot Wars X later this month but for now, it seems Japanese fans are happy with the game.

Specifically, the PS4 version came top of the Japanese charts with 89,259 units sold and the Vita release came third with 54,042 sales. These sales include both standard and limited edition versions and amount to a solid total of 143,301 sales.

For reference, Far Cry 5 on the PS4 came second in the recent Japanese charts with 75,474 sales.

Having played a fair bit of Super Robot Wars X, it is very good indeed. Taking a more isekai, or alternate world, approach to the story it features the mecha and characters from Aura Battler Dunbine quite extensively (shown below).

The big highlight of the game though is the inclusion of the New Nautilus from Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Like the Yamato from Space Battleship Yamato 2199 before it, the New Nautilus is not from a mecha anime and is just a standalone battleship. As a result, it is a remarkably potent and satisfying unit to use in the game.

In any case, if you want to pick up the English localized version of Super Robot Wars X for the PS4 and Vita it is released on April 26 and can be imported from places such as Play-Asia.
